Horde assassin is a class in the D&D WRPG, and assassin was a class in the WoW RPG. It was also a scrapped night elf unit in the Warcraft III Beta. Its model was recycled for the warden hero unit and it is a playable unit in WarChasers. Assassins are also a neutralcreep that throws poisoned spears and typically hang around other "bandits" (i.e., Bandit Lord) units in Warcraft III. The orc assassin artwork pictured above was featured in the Art of World of Warcraft and listed as "Assassin", suggesting that assassins were once a planned class or hero class for the game. Assassins from various factions can be seen throughout the World of Warcraft.
